if you go for the amd 64 you can run windows 32bit without a problem- and if you choose your MOBO carefully you can get one with a working firewall built in to it. I recently built a 64bit shuttle system for a friend and it's rapid! He had a few bios problems but the tech's at nvidia and asus (think it was asus!) bent over backwards to help him, they even wrote 6 beta bios's for him to try out and find which one worked best for him. You end up with a rapid system that will take a 32bit OS now and the 64bit OS when it's released.
